i think there was a song by the moody blue (? may have been from an off-shoot band featuring justin hayward.) off an album released in the late 70's--had to do with the 60's and named certain groups, notably the mothers of invention. john mayall, i believe, had a tune with the address of frank's house in laurel canyon as the title. whatever that was. those are the only ones i can think of--sorry i can't recall the names.

"Ian Underwood Whips It Out (Live on stage in Copenhagen)" from the album Uncle Meat.

Ian Underwood says: One month ago I heard The Mothers of Invention at the theater. I heard them on two occasions, and on the second occasion I went up to Jim Black and I said, "I like your music, and I'd like to come down and play with you." Two days later I came up to the recording session, and Frank Zappa was sitting in the control room. I walked up and said, "How'd you do, my name is Ian Underwood, and I like your music, and I'd like to play with your group." Frank Zappa says, "What can you do that's fantastic?" I said, "I can play alto saxophone and piano." He said, "All right, whip it out."

John Mayall album BLUES FROM LAUREL CANYON and song titled "2401" refers to a "log cabin" where Zappa presided over the place with a variety of performers appearing. To view the link do a "laurelcanyonthebook" with the three w's in front and the dot com afterward.

The address was NOT Zappa's house as referred to in an earlier posting.

Off THAT avenue, there's a song by Andy Partidge called "The Rotary", in which he says, "This is definately the thing that's gonna make Capt. Beefheart and his Magic Band look fat."

Actually, I could be wrong about it being Gilli on the Hillage album
It could be Hillage's gf Ms Giraudy (she wrote some of the tracks)
There's no info on my cd, but it sure sounds like Gilli a la "I Am Your Pussy"
